Endometriosis, weight loss and fainting?

Hello,

I've got Endometriosis and Endo Cysts and often experience constant hunger combined with chronic fatigue and sometimes fainting that occurs for two weeks around my period. I also have bad bowel movements whilst this is going on and have lost a lot of weight since the symptoms began.

There's lots of information on Endometriosis and weight gain, but very little on weight loss! Does anyone else also suffer from this and have any tips/information about it??

Hi

There’s a few here with bowel and weight loss. I’ve lost over 30kg since symptoms started, mainly last year. I bought a cheap size six off eBay, tried it on today and it fitted.

Weight gain is often down to hormone meds.

How are you feeling generally?
